Yet, union systems are badly flawed and in need of rapid changes for reform. The book's multilayered analysis presents a solution - a model to replace the existing firm-based collective bargaining with a larger, industry-scale bargaining method coupled with powerful incentives for union membership. These changes would represent a remarkable shift from the norm, but would be based on lessons from other countries, US history and current policy in several cities and states. In outlining the shift, the book details how these proposals might mend the broken economic and political systems in the United States. It also uses three examples from Britain, Canada, and Australia to explore what there is yet to learn about this new system in other developed nations.Cornell scholarship online.Labor unionsUnited States21st centuryIndustrial relationsUnited StatesLabor policyUnited StatesSectoral bargaining, Ghent system, union modernization, union revival, new labor system.Labor unionsIndustrial relationsLabor policy331.880973Madland David1217483StDuBDSStDuBDSBOOK9910554488003321Re-union2815648UNINA
